I have been using the SM module for a little while now and really liking it. Designing one piece parts seems pretty straight forward.
What I am wanting/Trying to do now is not so much straight forward, lol. Or maybe I am just trying to do things the hard way. I am trying to design a plate rear bumper for a Bronco I have. I am finding it difficult. So far I have been able to design a few of the plates and import them into an assembly. But now I am finding it more difficult to design the remaining pieces. There a few measurements and angles that I am needing but can't get from the Assy mode. The only point I have in assy mode in the anchor point. I am unable to figure out how to create new points or even transfer the points from my original plate design into the assy module. Or if that is even possible. It seem that pretty much everything in the Assy module for design is based off of tubing.
Can a plate bumper (or any muti plate design) be done in the assy module simply?

It is a PITA to do what you are trying to do and I plan to make it easier in release 8. You are attempting to do what I do a lot as a work around. If you want a point(s) to come through as PickPoints you can find them in SM under the "Misc" tab and then the "PickPoint" tab. The Point Depth lets you set the other side of the material. So, the depth will typically be 0.0 or your material thickness. Then go and select a point or an end of a line or arc and it will put a PickPoint at that location. Please note: if it is a bent part, make sure you are working on the correct flange when you lay it down. The Pickpoint will transfer with the SM part into assembly and you can use it from there to line up more parts or to dimension and so on.
